A legislative official said that two Kuwaiti politicians presented a controversial draft bill to parliament to amend the Gulf Arab state's penal code to meet Islamic sharia law. The draft law, presented by Islamist MP Waleed al-Tabtabaie and tribal Islamist MP Mikhled al-Azemi, is not due before full parliament until the end of the summer recess. Amendments in the draft law include amputation of limbs for convicted thieves and flogging or stoning to death for adultery in the small country which already enforces capital punishment for murder and drug smuggling.
